I have given my students voice about what they would like to have in the classroom. They requested books which we have purchased, but would now like a place to read with shelves that make the books easier to access.
Comfortable reading corners make for better and more frequent readers.
They would like to have a more comfortable space to sit and be able to read the new books that have been provided to them. These seats and shelves would make the reading corner much more comfortable and give access to more than just 2 students as it is right now.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
